Flourish In Time Episode 10 Recap
> Flourish In Time Recap
During lunchtime, Su Daifei purposefully sat across from Jiang Haoyue, who was eating alone. She pulled out a script, claiming she wasn't fluent with the lines and hoping he could help her. Jiang Haoyue pointed out that she was in a key liberal arts class and should have many classmates who could assist her, then coolly left with his tray. Meanwhile, Lu Miao's group experienced another disagreement during their rehearsal.
Chen Guoguo, as their main leader, grew exasperated observing Lu Miao, Shi Che, and Xie Ziye's lack of seriousness, constantly getting distracted or joking. He expressed his frustration, reminding them that their performance represented the entire class and was meant to create beautiful memories for their youth. Feeling apologetic afterward, Lu Miao, Shi Che, and Xie Ziye approached Guoguo, vowing to dedicate themselves completely to future rehearsals.
To show their sincerity, they took Guoguo out for a meal on Yushui North Street, where Guoguo even shared new plot ideas for their show, signaling his forgiveness. They shared a cola, promising to rest well for the next day's practice. However, Chen Guoguo later sustained a back injury during a rehearsal. Despite the pain, he insisted on continuing.
Mr. Wen, their teacher, initially expressed concern about their ability to perform with an injured member, but the group earnestly assured him they would excel and prevent their class from losing face. Later, Su Daifei, aware of Guoguo’s injury, deliberately removed Lu Miao's group's "HIGH SHOW" performance from the New Year Gala program list. Jiang Haoyue confronted her, criticizing her for unilaterally altering the program. Due to Guoguo's injury, Lu Miao's group had to adjust their positions.
After an endurance competition to determine who would take Guoguo’s place, Lu Miao volunteered and won the role, taking on the challenge. Lu Miao began practicing diligently, pushing herself despite fatigue. Jiang Haoyue sought her out, telling her that regardless of what anyone else might have said, the hair pin he gave her was bought specifically for her, and she looked good wearing it.
For the next few days, Jiang Haoyue consistently accompanied Lu Miao on the rooftop of their building, helping her with her dance practice and offering encouragement. He noted her newfound diligence, expressing his belief that she might be able to achieve a truly regret-free youth. Time quickly passed, and the school's New Year Gala commenced. Backstage, Su Daifei offered Jiang Haoyue a tie she had chosen for him, but he declined, instead pinning Lu Miao’s hair pin to his collar.
Lu Miao, in the audience, recognized it, silently pleased. Su Daifei then took the stage for the opening song. Her performance was clearly imbued with her affection for Jiang Haoyue, as she repeatedly glanced at him, but he remained impassive. Midway through the gala, an announcement was made that a typhoon was approaching, requiring the event to conclude half an hour early for student safety. With only two performances remaining, one had to be cut.
Su Daifei quickly suggested removing Class 10's "HIGH SHOW" due to their prior injury. However, a teacher noted that the group had swiftly adjusted and had a high completion rate in rehearsals. Jiang Haoyue, aware this was his sister's performance, was unable to persuade the teacher otherwise. As co-host, when it was time to announce the next act after Luo Mengjie's guzheng performance, Jiang Haoyue began to introduce Class 10.
However, Su Daifei quickly interjected, announcing the "Mr. Hat" performance as the final act of the night, effectively cutting Lu Miao's group. Backstage, Su Daifei approached Jiang Haoyue, hoping to talk and clarify any misunderstandings. Jiang Haoyue, however, coldly stated that he found her method of solving problems by depriving others of opportunities to be extremely unreasonable, and that there was nothing for them to discuss.
As the final act finished and the audience began to leave, Jiang Haoyue suddenly rushed to the stage. He passionately introduced Class 10’s performance, highlighting the many setbacks they had overcome and their unwavering perseverance. He praised their unity and fighting spirit, calling their journey the "shiniest" aspect of youth. Seizing the unexpected opportunity, Lu Miao, Chen Guoguo, Shi Che, and Xie Ziye quickly rushed onto the stage and delivered their performance, earning the night's most enthusiastic applause.
After the New Year Gala concluded, Su Daifei found Lu Miao to apologize. She admitted lying about the hair pin, confessing she had merely encountered Jiang Haoyue by chance at the supermarket and hadn't helped him choose it. She explained that her actions against Lu Miao stemmed from jealousy, as she harbored feelings for Jiang Haoyue, and he seemed to treat Lu Miao with special consideration. Su Daifei then directly asked Lu Miao if she also liked Jiang Haoyue.
Lu Miao simply replied that she would continue to like him even if he didn't reciprocate, because her affection wasn't contingent on his. Later, Lu Miao recounted Su Daifei's confession to Jiang Haoyue. She expressed concern, believing Su Daifei liked him and that he might reciprocate, cautioning him against puppy love as the top student. Jiang Haoyue, however, countered that grades don't define everything, and girls who struggle academically can also possess many shining qualities.
He described "her" as lovely, enthusiastic, and charming, stating it was perfectly normal for him to like "her." Misinterpreting "her" as Su Daifei, Lu Miao vehemently warned Jiang Haoyue to "stay awake" and avoid distractions that could jeopardize his academic future. Jiang Haoyue then turned the argument on her, declaring that if he couldn't engage in puppy love, neither could she.
Upon returning home, the two siblings formally drafted and signed a detailed "Agreement of No Puppy Love," outlining rules such as not dating before adulthood, maintaining distance from other opposite-sex individuals, and refraining from using pet names for others.
